    hey guys

    i currently have a netgear dg834 and i think it may be dying. i have had it for atleast 3 years and just in case, i am looking for a new router. we have two laptops in the house, one with a A/G card and one with a A/G/N card. the A/G/N card is the Intel 4965 card. i need help finding a router. what are your suggestions? price range is upto £100 but may be willing to go a bit higher if i really have to. would u recommend getting an N router and getting a separate N dongle for the A/G laptop? and what is Dual Band? does that mean it supports both G and N?

    thanks in advance for all efforts and help

    dual band means 2 different bands 2.4 ghz B, G ,N and 5 ghz A,N . in you situation I would get netgear wndr 3700 run your A G N laptop on 5 gz N and use the 2.4 for the A,G laptop , the 4965 gets up to 300Mbps on the A ,N band
